ostrich egg painting

May 20 Sunday 2012 back in the boathouse We left Thursday for the long weekend. Sunny and warm. On the docks at Clemintine over happy hours we meet new members and reacquaint with old. A Big black bear made an appearance for about half an hour right in front on the grass. Thankfully no dogs or kids were up there. I had time to paint an elephant and baby on the ostrich egg I bought in South Africa. Not finished as I didn't have any fine brushes. Weather cooperated until Sunday so we left and arrived back before the rain came in a vengeance. My Telus stick doesn't work at Clemmy so no internet. REMEMBER-A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks

May 16 Wednesday 2012 -in the house Today Bill has a doctors appointment with the nerve specialist. The nerves in his leg are healing slowly that is natural. So he tells Bill he can't be in such a hurry things like that take time. We go back to the furniture place and order the TV console, a desk for Bill , one for me too with a book case. We also order a table with a magazine rack for between the recliners . Tomorrow I have a mammogram then we will head out in the boat for the weekend REMEMBER- Opportunities are never lost as someone will take the ones you missed May 17 Thursday going to boat I have my mammogram then we go to the boat . My telus stick doesn't work up at Clemintine so no posting until we get back.

May 15 Tuesday 2012 on the boat Today we drive to Gibsons in our new car. We go to Ken and Lindas to pick up our wine. We phone Shelia and Clark to join us for lunch at Grandmas pub. We catch up on all our winter activities. Ken and Linda show us their new house as they think their big house sold. Still on the slope and with another great view. They can still check out our BYC boat slots. REMEMBER-Love not time heals all wounds.

Then we bought a chesterfield set- a recliner sofa, a recliner love seat and a recliner chair to be delivered Wednesday. Next was a sofa bed for the second bedroom. Late in the afternoon we went to an 85th birthday party for one of my students ( Vi Cullen) REMEMBER-You should never say no to a gift from a child

May 2 Wednesday 2012 last night is the last night in our rv. We have emptied everything out and will spend our first night in our new house even if we only have a bedroom suite. I put boxes in the appropriate rooms and will empty them when I have time. I put most of the kitchen stuff away and hung up all the clothes. We have lots of empty cupboards. REMEMBER-That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feeling in the world.
